SYDNEY: Emirates has appointed Barry Brown, former chief commercial officer of Oman Air, to the role of vice president in Australasia.
Brown will oversee the airline's commercial operations in both Australia and New Zealand, Emirates' third largest market. Brown replaces Stephen Pearse, who resigned in May.
He will report to Richard Jewsbury, Emirates's senior vice president, commercial operations, Far East and Australasia.
